What costs? I doubt there are any stand alone Cadillac dealerships anywhere on that Continent. Most are joined with Corvette and Hummer.

Here's a shot of a Cadillac dealer that I took while Honeymooning in Paris:



They're grouped with Chevy (though I only saw Cadillacs in the building).

I'm sure there is only minimal costs tied up with selling Cadillacs in Europe, and most of those are probably brochures and spare parts.
